I guess some of you might know regarding about Sultanate of Malacca History...

Based on Historical record.. the last Sultan of Malacca was Sultan Mahmud Shah who had run to Johor due to Portugese invasion on 1511. The Sultan founded new kingdom, which is knwon ad Sultanate of Johor or also known as Johor-Riau.. a new rival for trading and business for Malacca port..

Then he was replaced by his son Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah in 1528..afterwards.. The last heir of the Sultanate of Johor, Sultan Mahmud II died without an heir.. therefore the Bendahara or the prime minister (nowadays post..) took over the throne...

See some of this info for ur knowledge:

Man claims Malacca �throne�

BY SYED AZHAR

REGAL GATHERING: Raja Noor Jan and his entourage, including two of his four wives, being led to his so-called investiture ceremony at Taman Melati in Gombak on Monday night.

KUALA LUMPUR: A 48-year-old man who proclaimed himself the Sultan of Malacca at a so-called investiture ceremony here on Monday night is willing to take the matter to court to stake his claim to the state�s �throne�. 

Raja Noor Jan Shah Raja Tuah has evidence, and the regal artefacts, to prove the claim, said Azri Safian, who identified himself as the alleged ruler�s organising secretary. 

�He is serious about being installed as the 44th sultan of Malacca,� Azri told reporters at Raja Noor Jan�s purported ceremonial hall in Gombak here yesterday. 

More than 500 guests attended the �investiture� ceremony at a community hall in Taman Melati, where 150 people were also bestowed honorific titles. 

Two of the four wives of the property businessman, who has given himself the title Sultan Ahmad Shah, accompanied him at the Istiadat Watikah Gelar Adan Kesultanan Melaka ceremony, which came ahead of the Rulers Conference in Malacca on Nov 21. 

Azri said Raja Noor Jan had claimed he was a descendant of the last known Sultan of Malacca, Sultan Mahmud Shah (1488-1511). 

He said Raja Noor Jan would hand over his documents for the rulers to discuss at their meeting. Another ceremonial gathering would be held on Nov 19 in Malacca, he added. 

�We have the regalia, like two keris, a silver buckle, a royal crown and brooches from ancient Malacca and authenticated by the Museum and Antiquities Department,� he said.  

Letters and profiles relating to the claim had been sent to the Rulers Council, the Yang di Pertuan Agong and the Sultan of Perak as well as the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister of Malacca. 

�These items are proof to be presented to the Rulers Council,� he said. � So far, we have not received any response.� 

The Museum and Antiquities Department had authenticated the sultan�s genealogy, Azri said, adding that this further proved his claim. 

Azri said the �sultan� had not pursued his claims until the regal instruments unexpectedly turned up two months ago. 

�The sultan received some signs from his ancestors on the whereabouts of the regalia and, with the help of a pawang (traditional soothsayer) the artefacts were dug up from a place in Malacca,� he said.

 

lol @ ottoman_turk...

U and me.. we have same opinion here...

well the advantages he will get if he able to prove his claims are:-

• speacial treats as a royal (even his birthday will be celebrated by the whole state of malacca... will be announced as public holiday for tht particular state.. )
• allowances from the government as a Sultan of Malacca.. which obviously taken from the tax payers in Malaysia... which one of them is ME!!!! ..
• popularity and great influence... even though the Sultans are no more play the major role in ruling my country but their influence still strong in the society...
• A chance to be elected as Yang Di-Pertuan Agong... (highest rank of Malaysia's sultanate and this time his brithday will be celebrated by the whole country.. )

Ah monarchies. Me me me, my blood is special!! 

lol @ cywr

try to master malay language first then u can try for the claim..

p/s: maybe i can be the queen....

 

Possession is nine tenths of the law.

If you follow the bloodline correctly. The current King of England is an Australian farmer named Plataganet living on the outback.

I don't see Frau Windsor and cadre and packing their bags in Buckingham Palace.

I am sure that this guy could very well be a descendent of Mahmud Shah, as I am sure a lot of people could be. maybe a female-line descendant?

Even so, peranakans could claim the throne of malacca, since most of them are royal issue from that princess Huang Li Po and Mansur Shah.

Here we go again...the females get screwed once again for what should rightfully be theirs to claim!!!! It just never ceases to amaze me!

Yeah, what is really special in a king bloodline? I still recall some proud families of Castilian and Portuguese origin pointing to their "blue blood"

And why dont I claim that I am a desendent of Genghis Khan. After all, 1 in every 200 people in europe and asia is a desendent of him. My birth mother lived in asia so I might be a desendent of him.

So I claim the throne of mongolia

And as ruler i will nuke the worldmwoo hahahahahah hah ha ha-ha ha ----- ha

I have only one thing to ask of you: Stop the insane desendents of Genghis Khan (Yes they are all insane, desendents of Genghis Khan and people who even have him in their forum screen-name. he was a murderer!!!)
